This 1979 Kawasaki Z1000 is the last release of Spirit of the Seventies, codenamed S5-Z. It has been bored to 1075 cc, shortened the rear, added a bespoke tail and seat, and a new fat rim on the back has been installed in a Zephir swingarm. A Triumph 955 front end and a taylor-made exhaust system complete the main features.

Effectively, it's the Jubilee for the 75 years of business of the German retailer of bike accessories "Louis". The brand commissioned Marcus Walz a special to celebrate it. The donor bike is a Ducati Sport Classic. The photos are by Resk Photography.

In 1996, when I went on honeymoon in Indonesia, I visited a small town in the heart of Java, called Jogjakarta. I do not think that at that time the studio Daritz Design was already operating. In fact, the photos that I show you, a Kawasaki KZ 200 beautifully transformed with a classic look and a nice Springer fork, are esactly from there. 200cc can be considered as a large displacement over there... But, in hindsight, they are enough to have fun even in our western cities. Every now and then, it's worth thinking about it. (Photo edited by Luke)

A bold and radical intervention on a recent BMW1200R ... The anticustom by definition. Made in Bulgaria by Galaxy Custom. One question: were those indicators and the original instruments really necessary?

Unfortunately it's only a showbike presented recently at EICMA and built around a contemporary Kawasaki Z1. I don't really like the look of the modern frame... But this doesn't mean that I would happily ride it in the streets of the city! (Photo via Derestrictedand Sideburn, heavily edited by Luke)

"Our whole story started like a joke, just like many other stories of people with a passion or a secret wish.
Through a logo and a name we tried to represent what we love the most: the motorcycles. However not common ones, but the ones we consider very special.
Our last adventure took place on the weekend of the 24th of November, when we decided with no hesitation to join the Cesena's Kustom Kulture bike show.
We had never taken part to a bike show until that moment, and we never had the opportunity to show our work to the 2-wheels fans or to the passionates.
We applied and a moment after we were already on the road with the bikes fixed on the trucks." by Anvil Motorcycles

"During the exhib we had the opportunity to meet a lot of interesting folks: first of all Big Marco, a veteran from the 70s' races, with whom we share the same roots. We were charmed by him and his bike the "Scheggiaspina". And we met Daniele with his dragster, which in this exact moment is running in Yokohama, Japan. Then Nicola, Monica, and their crew the Rockers Klan, born to pour in your mouth good whisky on and on. We can't not mention then Walter and the Black Devils' guys, and the night we spent at their club house, where we were heathen up by a really old school stove, made by an old classic oil bin. Moreover we eventually met Matteo Br Moto, a customizer who in addition to a recognized talent, has as well the humility that allows freaks like us to make deep connections based on passion. And a special mention goes to the emotion of meeting a lot of our fans... more than we could even imagine. It was just a 2 days exhibition, but all those sensations will stay with us for a while. "

Grant Salter and Jesse Greening of Cafe Fabricationcompleted this project in 13 months: it includes several changes to the original Honda SOHC, including electronic fuel injection and inverted forks...Even too much for those of us who love the way it was... But the final result doesn't go unnoticed anyway.

This 77" Yamaha XS750 triple was built by Ugly Motor Bikesin Southern California and is now on sale on Seaweed and gravel site.com/blogs/news. The electronics and battery have been relocated and hidden under the custom metal seat/tail. The motor has been rebuilt with custom engraved filtered velocity stacks and one off 3-3 baffled exhaust give this bike an aggressive sound that should put a smile on any enthusiasts face. The matte finish and use of leather gives this bike, according to to S&G, an overall look of a gentleman's racer with the simplicity of the "girl next door". Whatever they say, I like it.
